Multi-product Integrated bioRefinery of Algae: from Carbon dioxide and Light Energy to high-value Specialties (MIRACLES)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Microalgae are a promising feedstock for sustainable supply of commodities and specialties for food and non-food products. Despite this potential the implementation is still limited which is mainly due to unfavourable economics. Major bottlenecks are the lack of available biomass at acceptable costs and the absence of appropriate biorefinery technologies. The 4-year MIRACLES project aims to resolv ...

Formaldehyde free Bio-Based thermosetting resin for wood pressed products (ECOPRESSWOOD)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"Pressed wood panels are composed of chopped or cut wood that are glued together using adhesives. Most of these resins are petroleum based products containing a hazardous chemical: formaldehyde. The acceptable levels of formaldehyde in wood pressed products have been reduced over the past decades due to increased public awareness on its effects on health and the consequent consumer demand for non- ...

INNOVATIVE POPLAR LOW DENSITY STRUCTURAL PANEL (I-PAN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The I-PAN project aims to design a breakthrough wood-made lightweight panel, adopting 50% of its volume recycled wood and for the remaining 50% poplar wood by using the upper part of the tree that is commonly underused. To this purpose, a novel manufacturing process is designed and innovation to existing resins is defined in order to require less energy during the drying and pressing process, mini ...

Biomass based energy intermediates boosting biofuel production (BIOBOOST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Increasing the share of biomass for renewable energy in Europe demands conversion pathways which are economic, flexible in feedstock and energy efficient. The BioBoost project concentrates on dry and wet residual biomass and wastes as feedstock for de-central conversion by fast pyrolysis, catalytic pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation to the intermediate energy carriers oil, coal or slurry. Ba ...

An Innovative, environmentally friendly CO2/Lubricant Absorption Power System for Highly efficient Power Generation from Low Temperature industrial waste heat to reduce emissions and costs (ICARUS)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

The EU manufacturing sector is vitally important to the EU economy, contributing ~17.1% of GDP and accounted for some 22 million jobs (2007) . EU exports have expanded by 4.7% p.a. over 2000-2008 and in some sectors the EU has increased its share of world exports between 1996 and 2006, notably in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and motor vehicles. SMEs represent 99% of the EU manufacturing sector equa ...

Developing advanced Biorefinery schemes for integration into existing oil production/transesterification plants (SUSTOIL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,

"An ambitious and achievable vision for 2030 is that up to 25% of the EU’s transport fuel needs could be meet by clean and CO2-efficient biofuel. To achieve this, it will be necessary to promote the transition towards “second generation biofuels” (e.g. lignocellulosic ethanol, syngas gas based fuels, pyrolysis oil based biofuels) but also support the implementation of currently available biofuels ...
